Abstract: Abstract We can call the envelopment DEA models as radial efficiency measures, because these models optimize all inputs or outputs of a DMU at a certain proportion. Färe and Lovell (J Econ Theory 19:150–162, 1978) introduce a non-radial measure which allows non-proportional reductions in positive inputs or augmentations in positive outputs. Table 7.1 summarizes the non-radial DEA models with respect to the model orientation and frontier type.
